Kevin Durant has led the NBA in scoring in each of the past four seasons and a dominating flurry over the past week by Carmelo Anthony has a fifth scoring title in jeopardy.

With Durant leading Anthony by the narrowest of margins entering Sunday’s showdown between Oklahoma City and New York, Anthony outscored Durant 36-27 in the Knicks’ 125-120 victory and slipped ahead of Durant in the race for the scoring title.

Anthony, who has scored 167 points in his past four games, is averaging 28.44 points per game and Durant is right behind at 28.35.

Since scoring nine points in a Feb. 13 loss to Denver, Anthony has averaged 32.7 points over the last 11 games, including games of 50, 40 and 41 prior to Sunday’s performance. And it’s not like Durant has slipped. Over the same 11-game span, the Thunder forward is scoring 28.9 points per game with six games of at least 30 points.
